I have recently seen a document
BS 18004:2008 whereas BS 18002:2008 already exists and is a widely known guidance document. I couldn't get much information on 18004.
Has anyone gone through this? If so, please let me know how it differs from 18002.
Advance thanks.
According to
IOSH
Content of BS 18004
BS 18004 is based on an earlier guide, BS8800 Occupational health and safety management systems. Structured around the OHSAS 18001 framework, BS 18004 provides more detailed information about what to do to implement an effective occupational health and safety management system in the context of UK OHS management practice. It includes many more annexes than 18001 and 18002. These include:
Annex A: integration of the OHSAS 18001 management system into the organisation’s business risk management system
Annex D: objective setting
Annex E: guidance on risk assessment and control. This includes examples of harm categories and a hazard checklist.
Annex G: occupational health
Annex H: worker involvement
Annex I: emergency preparedness and response
Annex K: incident investigation.
